 THE NEW ZEALAND MOSQUITO 

 TENT IS TO THE CAMPER

" Fresh, pure air, and plenty of it, is the surest and most 

 natural remedy for more than half the ills man is heir to." 



OUR SPECIAL AFFAIR 



is to make TENT LIFE a luxury instead of the misery it has too often 

 proved on trial. 



Twenty-six years " roughing it," in all kinds of weather, from 110 

 degrees of heat to six feet of snow, is the experience from which the 

 New Zealand Mosquito Tent has been evolved. 



It is, in point of comfort, as far ahead of old-style tents as the 

 Pullman car is ahead of the western " Prairie Schooner," or as the 

 modern "Atlantic Greyhound'' is ahead of the old-time " Columbian " 

 sloop, or the " Mayflower." 



Dr. L. T. Foss, of 1 32 Court Street, Boston, Mass. , who bought the first 

 tent sold in the States, last March, writes, October 4th, " IVe used your tent 

 several weeks in the Maine woods. Not a ' skeeter ' or midge could penetrate 

 it. Not only that, for five days it poured in torrents, but the tent withstood the 

 continuous deluge admirably. It is absolutely perfection" 



We are now getting out a special tent for arctic use, " The Klondike " 



— a tent within a tent. The inner or sleeping part is warmer than a frame house 

 or log cabin. With a "Primus" stove, weighing two pounds, and using a 

 quart of oil a night, the temperature may be kept at from 60 to 120 degrees. 

 All cooking may be done with the same stove. Price, outer tent 12x10 with 

 inner chamber 7}4x7}4, weight twenty-five pounds, $25. Both tents also insect 

 proof, and convertible into Summer tents at will.
